Johnny, Hubert, and the trip down Yeti memory lane.
What's it about?
Dr. Zoidberg is maybe the most improbably incompetent and unprofessional medical surgeon on T.V.--and I'm including the Gray's Anatomy cast here. Allegedly the best "alien doctor in the galaxy," he's butchered and mangled the employees of Planet Express in new, catastrophic, and often very funny ways. Well, after a simple splinter removal turns into a major dismantling of multiple bodies, Leela and company are fed up and demand to know what Professor Farnsworth keeps "Johnny" Zoidberg on the meager payroll. What we get is the first meeting between doctor and professor, and the terrible secret that has kept them together all these years.

Fry gets a pet! Leela gets blotto!
What was it about?
After Leela goes on a natural food kick, Fry ends up with a last-of-its-species egg containing a bitey little blue monster. Unfortunately, Fry's acid-spewing new pet is deemed a menace by the Professor, so it's off to "Mr. Peppy's'" home planet to reintegrate him into his natural habitat. Unfortunately, the sheep ranching locals don't take too kindly to the reintroduction of the animal known quaintly as the Bone Vampire, and when Mr. Peppy is released into the environment, everyone--except for Fry--is convinced that his murderous blue pal is sucking the bones out of the livestock.
How was it?
I'm convinced that many if not most of the Futurama writing staff owns cats. Bad cats. How else to explain the carefully observed knowledge of biters, scratchers, shoulder-jumpers, mess-makers, and vomiters that are our feline friends? Besides inspiring me to play a game of "Hey, my cat's horrible like that" this is one of those funny-sweet episodes where Fry gets to expose his gentle-dumb side, being the only one who has faith in the truly good nature of his beloved pet.

The most science heavy episode Futurama since season six began is also one of the best.
